In Swift’s home, the singer-songwriter employs feline figurines as design elements, but some also have a practical use, serving as bookends, for example. You can easily follow this lead, giving any adorable cat statuette you find a functional use, or you can seek out specific décor items made in the shape of cats. The Kit Kat Clock, for example, is one of the most recognizable items of kitschy design, sold on Amazon for $59.99. Concentrate your cat décor in a single area of your home, such as the bathroom — there are cat bath mats, shower curtains, and even toilet brush holders on the market — or spread them throughout the home.
Of course, Swift has a flair for the dramatic as well. Her 30th birthday cake was decorated with icing replicas of her three cats’ faces among a bed of roses. On the home front, she owns at least one painting of her cats as well. No doubt this was a commissioned piece, but artwork is not out of reach for regular folk. In whatever form, it’s a big part of design, adding depth, texture, focus, color, and personality to a space. Art prints can be found just about anywhere, from thrift stores to galleries, but a dedicated site like Art.com features nearly 6,300 prints of cats and kittens at prices as low as $15.
